Big stories live in small boxes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — Your next great read may be right around the corner — literally.

Nestled into the neighborhoods of Everett are more than a dozen Little Free Libraries. The size of a kitchen cabinet, passersby can find books and other goodies inside their colorful walls, free of charge.

The Little Free Library is a nonprofit based in Minnesota that aims to inspire readers and expand book access in neighborhoods. To join, mini librarians pay a $50 registration fee, and their library is assigned a unique charter number. Some choose to build their libraries from scratch. Others opt for a pre-made version.

From curating the selection to cruising secondhand markets for books, the people behind these libraries are dedicated to sharing the love of reading with their community.

1. I've threatened to put up

a Little Free Library outside our property in rural VA and stock it with mostly "banned" books. We don't get a lot of foot traffic but we do get drive-bys. so I don't know how much business we'd get.
